I will be running the marathon in Guernsey this August to raise money for the Joel community trust.

Homelessness is a growing problem, the number of people sleeping rough in London has doubled in the last 5 years. When I first came to the Joel project 5 years ago it was just a hall and a sleeping bag where homeless people could stay indoors for a night. Since then Joel has come so far and now there are 14 proper beds, providing a safe place to live- plus food, friendship and help for guests to move on to proper accommodation. 

Donations for Joel will go towards expanding the project so we can get more people off the streets and help them move on with their lives. Construction is underway at the moment and we have loads of people on the waiting list, so your money really means a lot!
